•
Place the cylinder stand on a stable and level surface. Improper stand position, such as placing the stand on its side, could cause accidental tip over
leading to liquid fuel entering the hose and causing an excessively long flame. This is called flare and is very dangerous. It can also cause the flame to go
out.
•
DO NOT USE THE TORCH IF THE HOSES SWELL DURING OPERATION. THE HOSES MAY RUPTURE UNEXPECTEDLY AND CAUSE INJURY OR
DAMAGE. If the hoses swell, stop using the torch by turning OFF the oxygen valve first and then the fuel valve. Disconnect the valves from the cylinders
and then re-open the valves to bleed the hoses. Replace the torch assembly before relighting.
•
Always use tools, such as tongs or pliers, to handle brazing/welding rods because they could be hot.
•
Beware that certain surfaces can reflect and transfer the heat back to the torch handle causing damage or injuries.
•
In cold weather the size of the flame will be smaller.
•
Always carry the torch by the handle and make sure the valve side of the cylinders is not tipping downward, which could cause the cylinders to fall out of
the stand.
HOSE CARE AND INSPECTION
•
Hoses should be kept dry at all times and kept free of debris, caustic chemicals or liquids, especially oil, grease and gasoline.
•
Do not pinch, twist, puncture or pull the hoses.
•
Do not pull the hoses over rough surfaces or sharp edges.
•
Do not tug or yank hoses or subject to other undue forces.
•
Do not places hoses near heat or in the direction of the flame.
•
Prior to use, inspect the hoses to ensure that there are no tears, cuts, frays or any other signs of deterioration or damage. Do not use the torch if you
detect any such conditions.
•
Visually make sure that the tip is open and unobstructed. CAUTION: Do not operate with a blocked or deformed tip. Doing so may damage the oxygen
regulation resulting in leaks or permanent damage.
1.
Before attaching the hoses to the cylinders, make sure the oxygen and the fuel valves on the hoses are OFF by turning the knobs clockwise until the
knobs stop. Hand tighten only. Do not force.
2.
Thread the fuel cylinder clockwise onto the fuel hose valve (1). Hand tighten only. Do not force.
3.
Thread the oxygen cylinder counter-clockwise onto the oxygen hose valve (2). Hand tighten only. Do not force.
4.
Place the cylinders, while attached to the hoses, into the stand (3). Do not attempt to ignite or use the torch unless the cylinders are secured in the stand.
5.
Place the cylinder stand on a stable and level surface. Improper stand position, such as placing the stand on its side, could cause accidental tip over
leading to liquid fuel entering the hoses and causing excessively long flame or flame outage.
LEAK TESTING
Whenever the hose or torch is connected to a cylinder and prior to attempting to ignite torch: check all joints and couplings to ensure against loose
connections. With the fuel valve and oxygen valve closed and without lighting, test the connections between the fuel valve and fuel cylinder and between the
oxygen valve and the oxygen cylinder with soapy water. If bubbles appear, gas is leaking and torch must be repaired. Never use a flame to check for leaks.
Conduct this test in a well-ventilated and spark-free area where there are no open flames.
•
Do not ignite the torch while oxygen is flowing to the torch.
•
Point the tip of the torch (4) in a safe direction.
•
To light with a spark lighter, (5) open fuel valve (1) slowly just before sparking. Hold spark lighter at a 45 degree angle to the tip of the torch (4).
•
Squeeze spark lighter to create sparks and remove once torch is lit.
NOTE: It is very difficult to light torch with valve fully open.
•
Do not light with cigarette lighter or match.
•
If ignition does not occur immediately upon opening the fuel valve, close the valve and wait 5 minutes before attempting to ignite again. Failure to follow
this instruction could result in a build up of flammable gas which if ignited could result in a fireball that could cause injuries and property damage. Do not
open the valve and allow gas to flow through the torch without attempting to ignite the torch.
•
After igniting, the flame will appear soft yellow. Adjust flame to be between 4 and 6 inches long.
•
Then, slowly open the oxygen valve (2) until the flame has an inner blue flame about ¼ inch long. The outside flame may be longer. This is the starting
flame.
SHUT OFF AND STORAGE
•
TURN OFF THE OXYGEN VALVE (2) BEFORE TURNING OFF THE FUEL GAS VALVE (1). Turning off the fuel gas valve while oxygen is still flowing
could result in a flash back and an explosion.
•
When the torch is cool, disconnect the cylinders from the hoses and replace the protective caps on the cylinders.
•
Disconnect the oxygen cylinder by holding the oxygen hose valve and turning the oxygen cylinder clockwise.
•
Disconnect the fuel valve by holding the fuel hose valve and turning the fuel cylinder counterclockwise.
•
Store the torch and cylinders separately and out of reach of children.
•
Do not store torch and/or cylinders inside a vehicle.
SOLDERING/HEAT TREATING FLAME:
Begin with the starting flame. Then, slowly increase the flow of the fuel by adjusting the fuel valve (1) so that the yellow portion of the flame remains in contact
with the tip of the torch. Adjust the fuel valve (1) until the flame is approximately 7 to 9 inches long. If the yellow flame loses contact with the tip of the torch,
reduce the flow of fuel until the flame is touching the tip of the torch (4).
